A measure seeking to protect abortion access in the State Constitution will appear on the ballot. It is one of nearly a dozen such initiatives that could shape other races this election.

Nevada residents will vote on whether to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution. This initiative follows the successful efforts of abortion rights groups to secure similar measures across various states by putting the issue directly before voters.

County election officials verified more than 127,000 signatures gathered by Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, well more than the roughly 102,000 needed to qualify for the ballot.
